From Edel:
- Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. - Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. - Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fire. - Go Ahead
THIS-IS-A-DARE! Not permission! Don’t Do It! - LOUD Sigh
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.) - That’s Okay …
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. - Thanks
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say “you’re welcome” (I want to add in a clause here – This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ … that will bring on a ‘whatever’). - Whatever
Is a women’s way of saying “You’re an idiot, just get away from me!” - Don’t worry about it, I got it
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?‘ For the woman’s response refer to #3.
